This week we had 12 men request to have study / worship time. I had 3 new faces that replaced three from last week as their time was short and they have moved on. Evidently the guys have been spreading the word as our numbers still pretty much maxed out.
Praise God for providing the bibles we needed. Now I am able to have a recovery devotional bible on each of the cell blocks and some to send on with those that request it. Please keep us in your prayers that we'll be blessed with the money to cover the bills. So far we've received $65 of the $340.
"R" is really in need of support right now as he returns to all the difficulties that were wearing him down. I was so thrilled to see him come and participate at the Sunday SA meeting. His sharing had a wonderful effect on lots of people around the table. He also has two beautiful girls that my daughter immediately latched onto as her new best friends. Thanks "R" for becoming a part of our family. You strengthen us all.
